EASTERN LEAGUE (AA)

Harrisburg 5, Reading 3: C Austin Bossart's three-run shot in the seventh inning made things interesting, but the Fightin Phils (26-37) struggled to muster much else at the plate in losing the series to the Senators (33-30).

The home run, the fourth of the year for Bossart (2-for-4), answered scoring from the visitors. Harrisburg had scored three runs in its half of the inning, coming via the long ball. The two homers went against righty reliever Edgar Garcia, who threw just the one frame in relief of starter Ranger Suarez.

In the losing effort, Suarez (2-3) allowed two runs on eight hits in six innings, both runs on RBI singles in the second. The lefthander gave up a season high in walks with four and tallied a season low in strikeouts with one.

FLORIDA STATE LEAGUE (A ADV)

Clearwater 4, Tampa 3: The Threshers (30-34) went down two runs in the top of the eighth then stormed back for three in their next at-bat.

It was the second-consecutive victory of that score, as Clearwater won the series taking the first three of four games.

Two walks with the bases loaded knotted the game at 3-3, then a single by CF Adam Haseley brought in the winning run. After his hitting streak ended at 14 games Tuesday, Haseley responded by going 3-for-5.

RH JD Hammer earned the win (1-1) despite allowing the go-ahead runs. RH Ismael Cabrera had the final out in the ninth for the save.

Starter Mauricio Llovera tossed six innings, giving up just a solo homer and striking out nine.

3B Luke Williams (2-for-4) went yard to tie the game in the sixth inning.

SOUTH ATLANTIC LEAGUE (A)

The 20-year-old struck out two and walked one, helping Lakewood (39-26) to take the series with the final of four remaining. Stewart lowered his ERA to 1.13 in the process; it hasn't reached any higher than 2.05 (April 25) this season.

The BlueClaws jumped ahead early with two runs in the bottom of the first on RBI doubles by RF Jhailyn Ortiz and 3B Jake Scheiner. They would lead 5-0 through four innings.

DH Jesus Alastre and CF Kevin Markham each racked up a game-high three hits, with Alastre recording his first double in 10 games with the team. Scheiner added one more double as part of a 2-for-5 day.

A victory Thursday at 7:05 p.m. will secure the four-game sweep for Lakewood.
